So what can we do? With millions of dollars of fat cat money floating around, the voice of the regular guy has been drowned out. There has been no way to get rid of the crooks and liars. But I believe now there is.
How did that old expression go?
"Throw the bums out!"
We do this using a new, unique and powerful strategy for taking on the corrupting cancer of money in politics--an end run around the iron grip that Wall Street, big banks and corporate oligarchs now have on our political system. This sledgehammer approach gives the 500 corporate toadies in Congress, who arrogantly sit inside the Washington DC bubble and ignore the very people who voted them into office, a simple, straightforward ultimatum: Do your job and start representing "we the people" or collect your pink slip.
It's a no-nonsense, take-no-prisoners method for cleaning up the corruption among our elected officials and putting people in office who will do our bidding. It forces the men and women we choose on election day to start taking their orders from us, instead of from the deep-pocketed puppet masters who have effectively stolen our government by buying off our senators, congressmen, even our president, with huge campaign donations.
This is an election year and people are frustrated and angry. Congress started the new year at a historically low 13% approval rating.
I say we channel that frustration and anger into a unified and constructive effort to restore true representative democracy to our country.
It's up to us. But something has to happen immediately. We are fast approaching a point of no return, beyond which the specter of a rigid totalitarian state looms. Either we replace our current legislators, or they will replace our country with one we don't recognize.
Look around. It's already happening.
So either we rise up now in a bloodless coup at the polls or we rise up later in the streets. Revolution in the streets will not be bloodless and I suspect it won't end well. The blatant and ruthless dismemberment of OWS was a warning.
Time to unite and act decisively.
Hopefully it's not too late.
